Yamaha YAS-209 vs Yamaha YAS-109

Yamaha YAS-209 review

With a total power of 200 watts and 2 channels, the system will provide support for 4K, Ultra HD with HDR 10, HDR and HLG. When it comes to how well your speaker can hear your voice commands, Yamaha has a trump card - quality microphones. Despite the fact that there are only two of them in the soundbar, I found that Yamaha could hear me without raising my voice even against the background of music. Not a single voice assistant can hear you 100% of the time, including Yamaha, but here it works better than most of the smart speakers I use.

The 2.0-channel device has output power of 60W. The YAS-109 supports DTS Virtual:X technology, which immerses viewers in immersive surround sound coming from the soundbar. Alexa's built-in voice control allows you to pronounce the desired phrase to work with the soundbar, smart home devices and Amazon's shopping list. The setup is very quick - just connect the device to the TV, and using Bluetooth you can transfer music and other audio data in streaming mode without wires.
